INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS MADE WITH WOMAN

INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS MADE WITH WOMAN IN
PARIS HOSPITAL
From the London Standard.
The amphitheater OF the Charlie Hospital in
Paris, was on october 30 crowded with persons
who had been invited to witness the experiments
OF hypnOtism made by DR.. Luys, member OF the
Academy OF Medicine, and doctor at the Salpe-
triere. Before introducing Mile Esther. his sub
Ject, the doctor showed his auditors photographs
illustrating the effects produced on her In his labOra-
tory. Mile Esther was then brought forward.
BY the means OF magnetic passes, the doctor
throws her from state OF letharsy into Q
cataieptic condition, and then into a state OF
lucid somnambulism. DR.. Luys placei a tube
containing hashish on her neck, aud she seemed
instantly 10 feel the effect OF the narcotic prepdra-
ton. She assumed q natural air. and soon went
straight toward DIR. Reclus who was present, and
proposed to perform the Mascot" with him. The
doctor was rather annoyed by the preference
her attention from him to Dr. SECOND, who con-
sented to play the part OF PppO. while Mile Es-
Their took that OF the Mascotte. He sat down be-
side her, whereupOn she promptly kissed him.
NOW slng," said DIR. Luys, holding the tube to
her neck, and she began at once, stopping short
when the tube was Withdrawn.
DR.. Luys then begged DIR. Reclus to place himself
behind the young woman and to put the tube on
her neck and then gradually take 1t away. Mile.
the tube was taken farther and farther from her
her voice became fainter and fainter till 1t died
away entirely. She then fell in a cataleptic con-
dltion, INTO tne arms OF the hospital attendants
DR.. Luys made other experiments upon Mile.
Esther. BY looking at her he made her follow
with her eyes an imaginary bird in the air. and at
last she thought she mad caught 1t In her hands.
Then, by making her look down, the doctor fright
ened her by making her imagine there was a ser
pent at her feet.
The most remarkable display was when DR.. Luys
placed TUBE containing ten grammes OF essence
or thyme on Mile. EsLner's neck. In few mo-
ments her face became purple. her arms and hands
still, and the neck Sweiled out in q most extraor-
binary manner From 81 centimeters 1t grew, by
the contraction OF the muscles, to 35. The suffer-
Ing seemed TO be intense, and when the tube was
taken away the patient was two minutes at least
before returning 10 q state OF lethargy. DIR. LuyS

Philadelphia Press special from Ptttsburg,

How He Aided Grant.
THE STORY OF A SPY IN THE CONFEDERATE WORKS
AT RICHMOND.

THE STORY OF SPY IN THE CONFEDERATE WORKS
AT RICHMOND.
The Reading Eagle Of sunday publishes a curl
GUS story showing how General Grant, when he
besieged Richmond, was aided in securing the fall
OF the city by gentleman prominent in Confed-
crate circles, who acted as his spy and furnished
him with Information as to the strength and posi-
ton OF the rebels, &C. This man was Samuel Ruth,
who went from Berks County and settledin Rich
mond In 1S45. The story is given by Mrs. Daniel
klnk, his sister, one OF the most respected ladies
In POttStOwn. Ruth was first baggage-maSter,
and gradually worked his way up until he became
general superintendent OF the Richmond
and Fredericksburg Railroad. He was
true blue Union man. When Grant lay before the
city he placed himself in communication with
Ruth, and the latter held regular meetings with
General Terry, who was then on Grants STAFF and
disclosed to him all the plans and purposes OF the
Conlederates, rendering the capture OF the rebel
capitol easy. Ruth was arrested and confined in
Castle Thunder, but released, as nothing could be
proven against him. After the war Grant pre-
sented him with a purse OF $500 In money, and
when he became President appointed Ruth inter-
nal revenue collector OF the second Virginia dis
trict, In which position he remained until he died.
Ills body now rests in Hollywood cemetery, Rich

A Georgia Girls Shot.


CHAMBER WINDOW.
Miss Elvira Ivey, a beautiful young woman, has
been acquitted at Louisville Ca, OF the murder OF
A. j. McCauley. She had been tried once before
and convicted, but the feeling against hanging a
woman was so strong that II was an easy matter
to secure a new trial Miss Elvira Ivey was at one
time prominent In jefferson society," but an inds-
erection closed the doors against her. suit was
pending against solomon Jones, the object OF
which was to compel him TO restore Miss Ivey's
good name by marriage. This suit was TO be
called In court on Monday morning. One the Sun
day morning preceding, however, the community
was thrown into intense excitement by the news
that the dead body OF Mr.. John McCauley, one OF
been found under the window OF Miss Ivey's room.
bullet had pierced his temple. In his left hand
was held a bunch OF bank bills amounting to
$1,000.
When Miss Ivey told the story OF the dead mans
presence there the excitement became more in
tense. she alleged that McCauley was friend OF
Jones and that the object OF his visit was TO in
duce her 10 withdraw her claims against his friend
As means TO accomplish this he protested his
own love for her, showed her the roll OF bills and
urged her 10 NY with him 10 Texas. As he had q
living wife and seven small children Miss Ivey re-
minded him OF his duty toward them. With an
oath the desperate man declared that he intended
that Miss Iyey should either elope with him
suffer death, at the same time attempting TO enter
the window. Instantly bullet from Miss Ivey's
pistol caused McCauley to release his hold on the
window and he fell back dead. To her father and
brother, who were brought TO the spot by the
I,
that the whole movement was plot 10 save Jones
In the approaching TRIAL.
The discovery OF a package Of letters, however,
in possession OF McCauley, did not accord with
the girls statements. In these letters covering
over year preceding the killing and conUem-
poraneOus with her Intimacy with Jones, she
writes In the most endearing manner TO McCauley.
All the terms In use among lovers are used. and
coming from single girl TO a man whom she
knew 10 be married, they were very damaging.
In one OF these letters, supposed to be the last,
assent Is given TO the proposition TO elOpe TO
Texas, and the night upon which the killing took
place was designated as the time Why, then,
did Miss Ivey Kill him instead OF flying with him?
This Is the mystery. Her letters established her
intimacy with him. That he was not on speaking
terms with Jones, owing TO their rivalry. was
well known. The only explanation which has
been given is that McCauley was an expected
caller at the window that night; that the noise
made by the couple In removing articles
through the window awakened a third party,
who, seeing q man in an improper place, fired,
killing him; and that seeing the mischief done
Miss Iyey assumed the crime as shield for this
third party.
